Hi again,
Well i totally apologise for trying to provide you with factual information regarding what ubuntu is reporting hardware and driver wise.
I am unsure how to put this concisely without providing this information to you, however i will try.
Wireless is not showing in network icon and querying the hardware the os can see the card, however it seems the driver is not installed corectly. Synaptic is showing that zd1211 source is not active
Sparklan WUBZ-103 shows as Fiberline WL-430U which uses the zd1211 driver. sudo ifup wlan0 resulted in Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0.
I was told that i need the zd1211-firmware but apt-get cannot get it with all repo's ticked as it is moved or obselete.
downlaoding and installing from
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/z/zd1211-firmware/zd1211-firmware_2.21.0.0-0.1_all.deb errors out with dpkg: error processing /tmp/zd1211-firmware_2.21.0.0-0.1_all.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite /lib/firmware/zd1211/zd1211b_uphr', which is also in package linux-package.
modprobe zd1211. states module not found
I really hope that helps. Thats about as short as i can make it. Im not trying to get on your nerves.
Best Regards
Edited: to add a bit more info and make the first paragraph more concise
